"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much or suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." --Theodore Roosevelt

About Me

Lived in Ohio all my life until I moved to Canada four years ago. Caring, honest, curious, adventurous, good sense of humor, love to laugh, people watcher, responsible, sensitive, loyal, patient, creative, perceptive,strong,personable. I love people who know what they believe in, who stand up to others, and aren't easily intimidated. I don't like people who are quick to judge or people who always try to impress. I am comfortable with who I am. Everyone has their own unique qualities. Be happy with who you are! The older I get, the more I become the person I am. My kids mean everything to me and I am so proud of them. They're good people with good hearts. In my spare time I like to listen to music, work with my plants, paint, play with my dogs,and blog. I don't watch much TV but I do love Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Dr. Phil.

Dressing Rooms

Yesterday I had some time so I thought I would stop at the mall and look at clothes. I wandered around and found lots of things to try on....not my favorite thing to do, but I need to look presentable when I go to work, so it will now become an ongoing adventure to keep my clothes updated and looking good. While in the dressing room it became evident to me that every store needs an employee working in there doing what I experienced. Actually it was hilarious and I was trying to control the laughter as I worked my way through the pile of clothes. As I was standing there picking out which outfit I would try on next, I heard a girl in the next room talking to whoever she was with...the other lady wasn't talking so it was almost like she was talking to me...at least thats how it seemed. Because....I put on the first pair of pants and she says to (the other lady)...wow, those look great. They fit so nice. (And mine did) Then she must of been trying on a shirt...at the same time as me...because the lady says (to the other lady)...that color looks great on you! (And, I thought the color looked pretty good on me too..haha) Since women have a hard time in dressing rooms and they are so critical of themselves I just thought it would be a great idea if department stores hired people to stand in the next dressing room and give you compliments without even seeing you. Dressing rooms can be evil....and this would help dull the pain. Don't you agree?
